In the Horqin steppe, after integrated training, the wind thieves and wolf thieves were equipped with a small number of long guns and all short guns, and then they went out of the customs again to attack and plunder, still under the banner of the wolf bandits, but the strength has doubled, and some small tribes and caravans were looted at the iron hooves, and they either surrendered into captives and became a free labor tool, or became fertilizer on the prairie.

The wolf thief group rode two or three horses, coming and going like the wind, and the whereabouts were strange, plus there was a cold challenge to the Phoenix Legion led by Lu Hongniang and the Shenji Battalion led by Li Xintong, intentionally or unintentionally, so that Yue Tuo, who was in charge of guarding the prairie, took care of one thing and the other, and made him busy and angry, if it weren't for the fact that the wolf thief group and the Phoenix Legion had suddenly encountered a few battles before, and many people died on both sides, he suspected that the wolf thief group was played by the Phoenix Legion.

In fact, the difference can still be seen from some details, every time the Phoenix Legion breaks through a camp, as long as it does not resist, it generally does not kill indiscriminately, but just plunders people, cattle and sheep, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even a little bit of dry food to fill the stomach, and the tent camp is not burned.

The wolf thieves are simply a group of demons from hell, burning and looting everywhere they go, leaving no chickens and dogs, and even those cattle and sheep property that can't be taken away are also burned to the core, which is really ferocious to the bones, even the Jin soldiers and those tribesmen who also burn and loot also change their colors.

The style of the wolf thieves who really gave Yue Tuo a headache was completely a copycat of their approach, fighting to raise war, not worrying about supply problems at all, coming and going like the wind, their whereabouts were weird, and the evil deeds they committed were nowhere to be found, all of them were done spontaneously, and they were not fooled when they dug pits and tricks.

And Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion and Li Xin's Shenji Battalion are still traceable, the style of action is not so ferocious, at least there is a bit of a bottom line of discipline, he would rather fight with two powerful Ming armies, than be teased by the hateful wolf thief group, embarrassed.

Huang Taiji's life back in Shengjing is not easy, if Mao Wenlong, who guarded Phi Island before, made him hate it to the bone, and he couldn't wait to chop it up and feed it to the dog, now, he would rather ten Mao Wenlong come back than hear any news from Cao Bianjiao, this girl is even more hateful than ten Mao Wenlong combined, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he is chopped up and fed to the dog.

After the temperature warmed up in spring, Cao Bianjiao, a hairy boy who had not dried up, frequently crossed the sea to attack and disturb with the cooperation of the Liaodong Naval Division, you played with him, he played with you, you played with him, he played with you, he played with you, ate the bait and retracted back as a turtle with a shrunken head, you didn't pay attention and suddenly rushed back to hit you by surprise, digging a pit and occasionally succeeding once, but this girl with the power of the musket, just kill out of the encirclement and run away, you led the army to chase after the tail, but he fought a beautiful ambush battle, chased too close, The naval artillery of the Liaodong Navy Division is really powerful, the caliber is large, the firing range is long, and the lethality is terrifying.

The naval artillery of the Liaodong Navy Division is fierce, and the combat power of the Liaodong sailors is also fierce, the sailors have landed several times, and the Jin army's iron cavalry rushed to kill, and was bombarded by the dense platoon guns and Franc machine artillery and suffered heavy losses, making people almost vomit blood.

According to the information found in detail, the chief officer of the Liaodong Navy Division has been replaced, it is a young general named Wei Yuanqing, the name is unknown, this girl's style of acting is the same as Cao Bianjiao's obsceneness, and he dared to use the logistics auxiliary soldiers as soldiers, and took the initiative to attack Dajin's iron cavalry, and the Jin army divided his troops to chase and kill the soldiers who pretended to be logistics auxiliaries, and the result can be imagined.

Dajin has a vast territory, a long and flat coastline, with the full cooperation of the Liaodong Naval Division, Cao Bianjiao's wolf battalion can land from wherever it wants, it can't be prevented at all, and it can't be prevented, the musket of the wolf camp is too sharp, and the sneak attack is not successful to change to a strong attack, let's do it here, when your reinforcements arrive, he has already rushed to another place to toss, tossing you to the death, and you have to prevent being suddenly ambushed by him, encountering this shameless obscene play, no matter how big your ability is, it is difficult to play, and you are so aggrieved that you want to vomit blood.

Dajin is already materially scarce, the population is sparse, through this long cold winter has consumed a lot of materials, usually need to invade the Ming border robbery supplement, grazing production is only auxiliary, the implementation of the strategy of war and war, but now, Cao Bianjiao frequently led the army to harass the rear, the tribes can not rest assured of grazing production, Hong Chengchou, who is known for his stability, sits in Liaodong, like a turtle shrunk in a turtle shell, no matter how you tempt the challenge, die not to fight, the old guy runs the Liaodong defense line as solid, and it is difficult for the Jin army to break through, Robbing all kinds of supplies to replenish military supplies is the dilemma faced by the Dajin Empire, Huang Taiji has a headache and can't eat anything, and he is depressed and has no heart to spoil the concubines.

"Great Khan, Wei Chen thinks, it's time to go all out to develop muskets." Chief Military Fan Wencheng offered advice, although his leg injury was healed, but still left some sequelae, walking a little lame, last year was his disaster, one after another, but fortunately, his life was big, and his head did not fall off.

The tribal leaders have echoed, the Ming army since the well-equipped Lu Mi gun, the power is very great, they have been taught many times, countless brave warriors are falling under the rain of bullets, wearing heavy armor is also finished, but the survival rate of carrying a huge shield is higher, but that thing is too heavy, seriously affecting the mobility of the cavalry.

Huang Taiji didn't want to form a musketeer, equipped with a large number of artillery, but it required a lot of good steel, the cost was too high, and what Dajin lacked was iron ore and a large number of skilled craftsmen, however, the flesh hurt to the flesh, he still adopted Fan Wencheng's suggestion, and agreed to form a musket flag soldier with a scale of 5,000 people, the three-stage formation of the copycat Ming army.

Under the coercion of leather whips and steel knives, all the skilled craftsmen in Dajin were busy, desperately rushing to make muskets, most of these skilled craftsmen were Ming craftsmen and blacksmiths who were plundered by the Jin army when they committed crimes, and in order to survive, they had to work hard to make iron and guns and weapons.

The consequence of making a large number of guns and cannons is that swords and other cold weapons can only be produced in small quantities, or even stopped, even so, the iron ore is still seriously insufficient, and the skilled craftsmen are even more scarce.

During the period of building muskets and artillery, Huang Taiji did not sit and wait for a waste of time, and the lack of materials also forced him to sit still, he personally visited the front line of Liaodong to inspect, looking for a good opportunity to break through, the most headache is still stationed on Phi Island Cao Bianjiao's department, this girl is like a sharp knife, against Dajin's abdomen, very uncomfortable, forcing him to leave two banners of elite in the coastal line of defense, and the town to guard the rear at least have to leave two more elite banners, plus Yue Tuo in the Horqin grassland led by the elite of the two banners, The elite available to him is only the Second Banner Banner Soldier, and Cao Bianjiao is a big trouble!
